2012 Pawtucket Red Sox Uniform Numbers

Mark Prior was on the Pawtucket Red Sox in 2012. Much like the newspaper box that doesn't accept nickels, I may never get over this.

These are in chronological order, where if more than one player used the number, the last guy to use it goes last. GOT IT?

2 - Tony Thomas, who I believe won the Spirit Award.

3 - Nate Spears. Confession: When I bowled next to Nate Spears, it was the day after he'd been ejected from a game in which Dylan Axelrod pitched. I set my bowling name to 'Dylan Axelrod', totally intentionally and hoped he'd notice. Not terribly mature. Spears did in fact approach me a couple of times, but only to ask how I was bowling. I like to think he noticed.

5 - Pedro Ciriaco. I missed him so much.

5 - Reynaldo Rodriguez, after they stole Ciriaco.

7 - Josh Kroeger. La Pesadilla's back down in Venezuela, pimp-style, sucking down the Vitamin G and living la vida loca. Good for him.

38 - Nelson Figueroa. Love Figueroa, but let's face it: Pawtucket lost the championship because he pitched poorly in Durham.

39 - Jose De La Torre.

40 - Andrew Bailey, rehab. Bailey kicked ass during his rehab start.

40 - Mike MacDonald.

41 - Doug Mathis.

43 - Justin Thomas.

43 - Mike Rivera.

44 - Aaron Cook, rehab.

46 - Ross Ohlendorf.

46 - Daniel Bard.

47 - Mickie Jiang, first base coach and Girl Friday. Also held up a full-length mirror in the clubhouse so Nate Spears could comb his hair in front of it while dancing.

48 - Scott Atchison, rehab... ish?

I think I'm only missing Ryan Dent, so if anyone knows what his number was, hit me up.

This only took three goddamn hours. You can't get this list anywhere else, so you know how lovingly I created it. Glad to be of service. (Note: There may be other resources.)

UPDATE! Sitting Still Kelly hipped me to Dent's number, which was 15. She then added, "Also when Wright and Valencia were both there but Lavarnway was gone Valencia wore 36." Which sounds like a Penny Press logic problem. Did Valencia carry a polka-dot umbrella and bring yams to the potluck? RYAN LAVARNWAY DID NOT BRING A DESSERT.
